Melvin Guillard vs. Jim Miller

Jim Miller defeated Melvin Guillard by submission (rear naked choke) at 2:04 of the first round.

Overcoming adversity, Miller weathered an early storm to get back into the win column with a submission victory over Guillard.

Early in the fight, Guillard rocked Miller with a left hook. Miller was in trouble, but the AMA Fight Club product survived and took "The Young Assassin" down on an ill-advised flying knee attempt.

As Guillard attempted to escape, Miller took his opponents back and locked up a body triangle. After slipping his arm under Guillard's chin, Miller forced the tap and walked away with the victory.

Miller can now focus on making another run at a lightweight title shot, while Guillard may be forced to rethink his move from Greg Jackson's gym to the Blackzilian team in Florida.

Duane Ludwig vs. Josh Neer

Josh Neer defeated Duane Ludwig by submission (guillotine choke) at 3:04 of the first round.

After taking some punishment from Ludwig early on, Neer picked up his sixth consecutive victory by taking the fight to the ground, where he possessed a noticeable advantage over the former kickboxer.

Ludwig's striking was as solid as usual in the opening exchanges of the bout, as he landed a number of knees to Neer's midsection. 

After realizing he was going to have difficulty beating Ludwig in the striking department, Neer took the fight to the canvas with a single leg takedown. From there, Neer locked up a deep guillotine choke and put Ludwig to sleep.

Though he has 44 fights under his belt, Neer is still only 28 years old and appears to be hitting his stride as a mixed martial artist. Working with the infamous Diaz brothers, Neer's fighting style and attitude is beginning to look very much like the Stockton siblings. 

Mike Easton vs. Jared Papazian

Mike Easton defeated Jared Papazian by majority decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-29).

A massive underdog against Easton, Papazian held his own in a closely-contested UFC debut.

After some back-and-forth clinchwork early, Easton controlled the center of the Octagon for most of the first round, with both fighters landing what seemed to be a fairly equal amount of shots.

The second round was more of the same, but East secured a big takedown with one minute left in the second round. In a close fight, the takedown was extremely important on the scorecards.

Even after two hard-fought rounds, the two fighters kept an incredible pace in the third round. In what might have been the most telling exchange of the ronud, Easton tossed Papazian to the ground and landed a big right hand as his opponent regained his footing.

The judges' decision could have gone either way, and one judge deemed the bout a draw, but Easton was awarded the victory, as the other two judges sided with the Alliance MMA product.

"We the 35ers. It's nothing but non-stop action," East said in a post-fight interview with UFC commentator Jon Anik.

Though he suffered a loss in his first Octagon appearance, the 23-year-old Papazian displayed a lot of heart and potential by going toe to toe with a fighter like Easton.

Pat Barry vs. Christian Morecraft

Pat Barry defeated Christian Morecraft by knockout (punches) at 3:38 of the first round.

With a highlight reel knockout, Barry brought his two-fight losing streak to an end and ensured his spot on the UFC roster for at least a few more bouts.

Things didn't start off as planned for Barry, though, as Morecraft threw the former kickboxer to the ground after catching a kick. Showing improvement on the ground, Barry fended off a rear naked choke and made his way back to his feet.

After being taken down a second time, Barry fought off yet another submission attempt, an armbar, and forced Morecraft to stand again. This time, Barry kept it standing long enough to blast Morecraft with a left hook. 

Barry pounced on the 25-year-old and forced a stoppage. If Barry can continue improving his ground game, his striking makes his a very dangerous opponent for most heavyweights.

Morecraft has now lost two straight fights, but he still has what appears to be a bright future as a young fighter in the sport and should get another opportunity to fight inside the Octagon.

Jorge Rivera vs. Eric Schafer

Jorge Rivera defeated Eric Schafer by technical knockout (punches) at 1:31 of the second round.

In the final fight of his career, Rivera mounted an impressive knockout to go out with a win.

Schafer started out strong, working his ground and pound for most of the first round and attacking with an omoplata in the closing second of the stanza.

Not wanting to leave on a low note, the 39-year-old Rivera stormed back in the second frame. After slipping out of a single leg takedown attempt, Rivera blasted Schafer with punches and forced a stoppage by referee Herb Dean.  

With the loss, Schafer has now lost four of his past five fights. If this loss results in Schafer's release from the organization, a third unsuccessful stint could mean Schafer's UFC career could simultaneously end with Rivera's.

Kamal Shalorus vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Kamal Shalorus by submission (rear naked choke) at 2:08 of the third round.

Making his Octagon debut at UFC on FX, Nurmagomedov was extremely impressive in victory over Shalorus.

After getting hit with a hard body shot in the first round, Nurmagamedov landed an uppercut as he stood up. Rocked badly, Shalorus was able to recover and survive the round, but the Iranian had no answer for the Russian throughout the rest of the fight.

Nurmagamedov used his wrestling to control Shalorus, a solid wrestler in his own right, for the majority of the second frame. In the third round, another takedown led to a rear naked choke submission for the UFC newcomer.

With the win, the 23-year-old extended his undefeated record to 17-0 and made a huge statement that he could be one of the brightest young prospects in the lightweight division.

Charlie Brenneman vs. Daniel Roberts

Charlie Brenneman defeated Daniel Roberts by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28).

Brenneman's game plan for his UFC on FX bout with Daniel Roberts was clear from the outset.

After getting caught with a big shot in the opening minute, Brenneman immediately used his wrestling background to take Roberts to the ground. Methodical ground and pound preceded a move to the crucifix position, where "The Spaniard" was able to do some damage.

For the most part, the second round played out very similar to the first. After an early takedown, Brenneman landed some elbows and punches from the crucifix position. A second takedown attempt near the end of the round allowed Roberts to threaten with an inverted triangle, but Brenneman was saved by the bell.

Again, Brenneman took Roberts down in the final frame, which allowed him to rebound from a loss to Anthony Johnson with a decision victory. Roberts attempted a kimura at fight's end, but it was too little too late. Unfortunately for the Cesar Gracie-trained fighter, Roberts may have been bounced from the UFC with the loss, as he has now lost three straight.

For Brenneman, the win was a step in the right direction, but the Pennsylvanian realizes he has some work to do in order to continue climbing the welterweight ladder.

"If I want to get to the top, I need to start finishing. That's something I put on me," Brenneman said in a post fight interview with Fuel TV's Jon Anik. 

Fabricio Camoes vs. Tommy Hayden

Fabricio Camoes defeated Tommy Hayden by submission (rear naked choke) at 4:03 of the first round.

Making his UFC debut at UFC on FX, Hayden started off strong with two takedowns in the first half of the opening round.

Camoes quickly turned the fight around, though. An omoplata attempt allowed Camoes to sweep Hayden. Shortly after taking the top position, Camoes landed a huge hammerfist and took Hayden's back.

It took less than one minute for the Brazilian to lock up a rear naked choke from there, giving the 33-year-old a third straight win in his return to the Octagon. Camoes failed to pick up a win in his last stint with the organization, but maybe this win will lead to a longer run in the UFC for Camoes.

Taking the fight on short notice, Hayden suffered the first loss of his career. While it will be tough to swallow, the 25-year-old showed some promise and could have a bright future in the UFC down the road.

Daniel Pineda vs. Pat Schilling

Daniel Pineda defeated Pat Schilling by submission (rear naked choke) at 1:37 of the first round.

With a first-round submission of Schilling in his UFC debut, Pineda opened people's eyes to his potential future as a featherweight contender.

After getting clipped with a few counters on his feet, Pineda secured a double leg takedown. Once the fight hit the canvas, Pineda took complete control.

The 26-year-old quickly moved to mount and took Schilling's back. From there, Pineda softened his opponent with punches before locking up a standing rear naked choke. Schilling attempted to loosen the choke by dropping to the ground, but he was forced to tap inside the two-minute mark of the opening round.

"I thought it was going to be more of a war, but once I take your back, I'm going to finish you," Pineda said in a post-fight interview with Fuel TV's Ariel Helwani.

In handing Schilling the first loss of his career, Pineda picked up his sixth straight win. With a victory over recent TUF stand-out Johny Bedford, Pineda has to be considered a seriously bright featherweight prospect. 

Joseph Sandoval vs. Nick Denis

Nick Denis defeated Joseph Sandoval by knockout (elbows) at 0:22 of the first round.

With a quick beatdown of Sandoval, Denis made a huge splash in his UFC debut. 

The 28-year-old Canadian opened the bantamweight contest with quick, accurate two-punch combinations. After doing some damage from the outside, Denis clinched up and put Sandoval's lights out with a rapid assault of standing elbows.

With the victory, Denis improved his record to 11-2 and handed Sandoval his second UFC loss in as many fights inside the Octagon. 

Denis becomes an interesting addition to a bantamweight division sorely in need of rising talent, while Sandoval will need to turn things around quickly if he wants to remain in the world's premier MMA organization.
